Let's assume folks know their kids and what would work best for them. I'm a big believer in therapy, but not every kid feels comfortable talking to a stranger. And if a family is interested in therapy, don't assume groups are lesser than individual therapy. Kids HATE being different from their peers, and having a dramatic loss in their lives makes them different. Meeting other kids who've had similar losses can be SO comforting. Sometimes that's all they need for the moment. Especially if they are younger.
